Yahoo Hosting's Lack of .htaccess Support

Here I am, minding my own business, trying to write a rule for mod_rewrite that redirects /blog/ to / so there's no duplicate content (just in case I missed a homepage link in the template — or someone links it — it gets redirected). And here I am discovering that Yahoo (quite lamely) doesn't support .htaccess files at all. Wow, this totally stinks.

This comes after also discovering that Yahoo also doesn't allow their managed WordPress installation to go in the root directory, either.
